Raw Material for Ethylene Diamine Production
According to the Ethylene Diamine production plant project report, the major raw materials for Ethylene Diamine production include 1,2-Dichloroethane-Ammonia.
Production Process of Ethylene Diamine
The extensive Ethylene Diamine production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production from 1,2-Dichloroethane: In this method, 1,2-dichloroethane and ammonia are used as the major raw materials for the synthesis of ethylene diamine. The synthesis begins with the chemical reaction of ammonia and 1,2-dichloroethane under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure, which results in the formation of ethylene diamine as the final product of the reaction.
Ethylene Diamine is a clear, colorless liquid that is characterized by its ammonia-like odor. It has a molecular weight of 60.10 g/mol and a density of approximately 0.899 g/m³, with vapors that are heavier than air. The molecular formula of the compound is C2H8N2, and its flash point is 38 °C. This strongly alkaline chemical decomposes upon heating, emitting toxic nitrogen oxides. Its melting and boiling points are around 11 °C and 117 °C, respectively. The chemical is miscible in water and alcohol and is both air-sensitive and hygroscopic, capable of absorbing carbon dioxide from the air. It is incompatible with phosphorus halides, oxidizing agents, copper alloys, and strong acids. Ethylene Diamine is typically produced through the reaction of ammonia with 1,2-dichloroethane.
